Marquez designs
 

Just inquiring if anyone has gotten any parts from him lately or had any communications with them. I know they were moving, but I haven't heard if they have any products going out the door. The number on their website is a dead end too. I am looking to get some tail lights and marker bezels from him and was going to give it one more shot before going elsewhere.


Thanks for any updates,

BB

I tried to get a hold of them a few times in 2017 and in 2018 and never heard back.

I sent an email to the address on their website in January and Pascual replied.

Don

Don... I sent you a PM

BB

They're very hard to get ahold of. Website is outdated, poor communication with customers, doesn't return phone calls/emails at all or in a timely fashion, etc....not how business should be conducted. At least not in my opinion. Nice parts, but it's hard to obtain them.

Sent an e-mail a few days ago, as I expected no response.... guess now I'll try and figure out plan B.


BB

It's terrible when you have a business that wont give proper customer service. It's even worse when for years theres a business that has fantastic products and they ignore you . I.e Marquez and Fesler

I know Ryan, its sorta crazy but I don't know what's going on in his life so I cant judge. All I can do is move forward with another plan for which I don't have yet. Its one of those situations where you thought they would be there when your ready to purchase and had I thought about it a little more I probably should have bought 2 sets years ago when he was getting products out the door. You would think if he is on hiatus for awhile he would get the word out to customers. Hopefully he comes back out someday as he has nice products.

Marquez turns out the most high quality billet parts out there. A buddy of mine waited two months for his Nova tail light bezels and they are amazing! They also were at a SEMA last year too - with minimal offerings but yet still viable. If you can wait, keep after them!

I will be at good guys next weekend if it doesn't rain. If I see them I will say Hi and report back.

Only car nuts would chase a vendor like a crack addict. ha

I think I’d just buy from Ringbrothers and save myself the frustration, but I’m probably more flexible on the “look” than some.

:rofl: Todd you are so right... I've tried rehab but it doesn't work :waveflag:



I don't think Ringbrothers make taillight bezels for 67-69 Camaros at least I didn't see them on the website.


BB

What exactly are you looking for? I can text him for you and see if he has anything available.

I looking for a pair of 69 traditional tail lights with the back-up light. Product # MAZ-105

Thanks Dave

Greg,

1968 Camaro taillights and Marker light bezels
MAZ -104 w/ black center ( taillights )
MAZ- 203 ( marker bezels )

Not sure if those are his part numbers or Digitails #

Thanks for any thing you can do. I can PM you my number if needed.

BB

I will text him tomorrow but don't get your hopes up. Sometimes he texts me back right away and sometimes it takes a week or two and on a few occasions her never even got back to me. But either way, I'll see what I can find out.

I am chasing him too! Would like a set of 68 Camaro 3D Tail Lights brushed, part number MAZ-114. He makes some great stuff.

Pascual (owner of Marquez Design) got back to me right away. This is the exact text message he sent me.

"We moved and construction did not go as planned. One of the obstacles has been power. However, the remodel is almost done. We are working in limited space and getting orders out slowly. We should be fully operational in the next two months. I will check with Manny to see what we can do to get the parts out faster."

Greg,
Thanks very much for reaching out to Pascual for us. It gives me some hope that maybe I can wind up with his tail lights after all. I think i'm going to risk that my factory taillights fit my reproduction tail panel really well and hope his fit as well. I'm about ready to send this thing to the body shop and it may all work out because as we know most body shops ain't in no hurry lol.


Thanks again Greg it much appreciated,

BB

I can tell you that you will probably have to do some tweaking to make it fit. Even worse depending on the brand of tail panel, I have seen the bucket stud bracket spot welded in the wrong spot. I do have a pair of modern bezels I could sell if you want to be damn sure everything lines up.

I emailed him today and got a similar response. Hopefully he comes through. Thanks for checking with him.

Mike thanks for the offer, I think that the tail panel is probably one of the areas that can be put off till later in the body work. Hopefully I can get Pascual's bezels by then. The body shop will still have plenty to do before they get to that part of the car. So far, the only thing I needed to do was open up the stud holes a little because of the welded bracket ( glad it wasn't in the wrong spot like you have found ). I was just shocked to find that even the stock bezel fit really good.

Thanks again Mike.

I am still chasing a set of 68 3D Tail Lights. He emailed right back in March, then I haven't heard from him since. Now their phone number is dead. Anyone heard from them lately?

Heard they moved to Woodland Ca a while back.

Hey Greg,
I know this threads almost a year old now, any chance you have heard anything from Pascual lately ?

SD67 did you give up too? Just wondering if you found anything for tailights

BB

Its been many months since I have contacted him. The last thing he told me was that he had a few pairs of the 68 lights but they needed to be assembled. I told him I would buy two sets and he said "let me check when I get back to the shop" and I have not heard from him again. He has not responded to any text messages since then.

Sorta what I expected... I think I'll pretty much call it a wrap for me getting a set from him. I have a slight tinge of OCD on this car and really hoped to land a set from him. On to the next vendor whoever that may be.
Thanks again Greg I appreciate you looking into it for me.

For what it's worth, RB is coming out with some tail lights for 1st gens. I spoke to them as recent as the last week to follow up on the status of the tail lights as I first spoke to them right after SEMA. Per the lady that answered the phone, it's still in design stage and still had to go to testing, etc. So, it'll be this time next yer. Don't know what stage your car is and if you can wait, but just giving you some insight. Marquez made great stuff, but we know RB will be just as sweet.

I gave up, just bought the stock repops that I am going sand smooth then paint. Fesler stopped making theirs too. Eddie Motorsports is the other option right now. Too bad, Marquez made dome great stuff.

Wow, definitely hanging out for ring brothers if that's the case, especially now that fester and Marquez are out.
everything I've purchased from RB has been top quality

Did Fesler discontinue all of their billet products? I saw him trying to sell his billet business a while ago.

Don

I may have to do the same thing temporarily and change out when I find something else I like. At least RB may be working on some now.

BB

Don, yes they did. I called them a few weeks ago, as there are no billet parts no longer on his website, they said they are no longer selling billet parts. The only thing they are still selling are interior door handles because they go with the door panel kit and a few other small pieces. But, no more tail lights, lower valance fog lights, etc. That sucks because I wanted a pair of their tail lights since Maquez isn't available.

I ordered a set of 3d tail lights for my 69 through digi-tails on June 7th, they are advertising Marquez products on their website. Haven't received anything other than an e-mail saying that the wait time is indefinite... They took my payment right away for the lights and LED setup, but I have nothing yet. Anyone here have information that may give me a positive vibe about this !?!

It seems MCB (Matts Classic Bowtie) has some contact with Marquez. Give them a call and see what's available....

I spoke with Michelle, at Fesler about a month ago, they sold that part of the company to a new owner. From what I was told, he will have the new company up and running in about 6 months or so.

I tried Digitails a while back too....with no luck, they didn't have any inventory as they were waiting on Marquez for the parts. I'd call digitails and if they don't respond, cancel or dispute the charges. Wish I had better news.

I just sent an email to DIGI-TAILS. Definitely not the best feeling considering I thought of them as a well known company and wasn’t concerned with receiving the items that I ordered. They said 2-4 weeks to receive the sequential lights, but there’s been nothing on those either... 🤦*♂️

I started this thread almost a year and half ago and back then I was told Marquez had moved into another facility and was working on getting additional power to the building to run some of their machines and he was expecting to be up and running within just a couple of months. I know now that this was nothing more than blowing smoke. I was able to get a set of his tail light bezels for a friends car before he went awol, just wished i would have order a set for me back then.
I think Digitails as a company is ok, I recently got some lighting from them but I think their connection with Marquez isn't what it used to be.
Just my .02
